CHING's PATENT WORM LOZENGES WORMS are the most frequent sources of Chil , chtu's Diseases. Their symptoms every Parent and Guardian of Children should be acquainted with. They cc. casion Loss of_ Appetite, a Paleness of the Colour of the Face, .Emaciation, and irregular state of the Bowels, attend. ed after with violent pains; they . bring on Convulsions; they ailed the growth of the Body, and they prove fatal, by end ing in a Consumption or Decay. Both as a Preventative and Cureof these alarming Complaints, the above excellent Me dicine is universally allowed, on the testimony of the highest Charaders in this Country, both in rank and respedability, to have no equal. Their public approbation, given to the Proprietor, from a personal knowledge of its wonderful suc cess in their own Families, stamps its merit beyond ebuipeti tion and gives a sanction to it, of which no other Medicine of die kind can boast. Parents, and others who have the Care of Children, should have this Remedy as a Family Me dicine to resort to, whenever the Stomach or Bowelsot Chil dren are any way disordered, which it will always be found to relieve.

SPAIN. tFROM THE SEMA_NARIO " SPAIN NEEt)S A GENERAL AND :EFFRCTUAL REI , O2IZ. "I Little more than three agei have etapsed,,ince Spain cotild call hertelf a whole nation, tier- various Provinces being only then uni►ed under bne Govern- and authoriti. These yers would, have.suf ticed to gather in the fruits which were vcomised the consolidation of so poweilul a kingdom, if for tune, %dile(' had pleased to arranize the §ticcessiv't intermarriages and inheritantes of the. had given to them the will arid power to oe ,,, ent so 'magnificent an edifice, instead of leaving it to time to lindermine what they had ta:sed. The nation was distracted by the taeti,ms of the . pbwerful gran dees, who, ,availing themsel . Ves of the debility of the Kings, emulated the independence of the throne. The people, .wearied by tin, cliecies bi - domestic ty ranny, a thouten i limes more glievons than the re t:o er despot*, 'ot a Court, lent their arms to an aalve and artful .Minister, in order to destroy the petty rivals of Ferdinand she Catholic; and from that Moment, no voice was heard Si, Soain, but that of the Monarch. ltliti will rettraaied by ills privileges (fueros) of some Piovinees; , and some controul, tuough , weak, wa , formed by the preca rious arid vague infitiente of the Covet it Castile.— Ferdinand was fora time checked tit/ the deF,:re to possess that crowd ; in case of tile .death of his Queen, to whom it. ii , Aoliged; and this iitcident placed obstacles in the wit,' .ot de4;.b ism, tor a pe. nod, so that the people did not tee ark the tabt' which threatened them. " Arberary 'power had shot peep and intricate roots, when cite of those 'cap - t:thus famity.conote.„ tioni on which the welfare oe ruin of whole nations depends, Felt the sceptre of Spain into the hands of a foreigner, and made it the, inheritance of a C.ier- . man house. From thence our firmament was over shadowed by a cloud cif evils which is still discharg ing itself dpon :Our head's. this was perceived bY those generous Spaniards whO invoked, the valour of their nation to avert it • ' bat they soon lean: ed, by fatal calamities, .that . slavery is rapidly contagious when it seities' .Oty .a dh'ided 'nation. They were doomed . to suffer thiS thrOugh the arms of their-fel: low-countrymen ; and the scaffold wag raked Up by .the same liarkds which had sought to break the chain. Who could feel'..Compassion for an infatuated people who sacrifieed, their .youth—vho ran to shed their blood in foreign lands, in order to impose theyoke upon other. nations whose spoils they did net even 'enjoy ? The, brilliaet reigo of Charles V. _passed away : in that ,school' was formed a Philip U. who adding new pretensions to those of his fattier, had to supply by intrigue' that strength which had been un profitably lavished, anti who - degraded himself be tore Europe, which had formerly trembled at his presence. 'At length the utmost debility was united to the utmost despotism; and the Spanish nation descended from King to King, as from abyss to abyss, to the profundity' of degradation and Misery. Spain - then became the legacy of a . weak mo narch to the ambitious court of France'; and she was torn to pieces, being the prize set up to be contended for by two foreigners. Exhausted by fresh wat s, she slombered in the interval, during which the intrigues of other cabinets allowed her to .lay down the arms she had•scarcely strength to sus tain, till in our days falling into the hands °fan ad venturer who covered her with shame, she was on the point of becoming the prey of another adventurer still more audacious, who availed himself of the baseness of his predecessor to subdue here " This ketch comprises the period of °dr glory. But what inP.uenee had this on the happiness of the country ? Was she rendered moire happy •hy the dis covery ofia,new world, whose riches were the price of the blood shed in Flanders and Germany., 'for in terests which were not her own ? Or could her fee licity spring from the barren triumphs of tie , „rms, joined to those of other nations? Glory was donbt less then gained by our ancestors ; a glory wilich strewed what the valour of this people could eftect ; but the glory perished,, with the , r), and left to their descendants vain recollections, mingled with incalculable evils. " What then shall we say "r. 4 foe.i.ef aces--ages of everlasting war; at one time against the u sur pe r of our soil ; at another time against princes, whose renewed coolliEts \ were ever springing from succes sive victories 'No firm and pertnanent bt•es t)f go vernment were estiblislied, when the ,Penitts:ell formed one kingdom. And shall we seek for pre cedents, when every pros ince was an itidepeincnt state.-4when war was tanW carried on against - the Moors, now waged by Christians, who slaughtered each other ? " No, Spaniards ; we will not deceive oarselvt4s, concerning the present 'state or . our - country. possmonumentsvenerable monuments of grandeur and power, and derive them directly from our ancestors. We possess, laws, which at one period wen:, bet ter ifLin any Europe then enjoyed; but we 'do not refaia the shadow ,of what our actual situation requires, nor any resemblance of what can render u 5. happy, being what we. now are. Our ancestors he.iped to.; gether the fragnients of ancient ruins; we have to form the plan of an edifice, 'adapted te our actual exigencies; we ought not to destroy whin we havt; inherited tron; them, but to fill up - the chasms in ,•. what is remaining. ' - - " If we add to all this the ernbm.rdsgments arising from an horrible invasion, and a defence undertaken when the arts of despotism had laid us proStfate and almost lifeless, we may, contemplate at one glance the evils which surround and menace us, unless v e apply an efficacious remedy.
